There's something in the smoke
That hangs above this city
Would you take away the pain
And give us back our lives
[chorus:]
Where are you now?
Running from a darkened shambles?
Or hiding in a deep glass of wine?
Am I here to see the celebration?
Or to lead in the funeral train?
My flower is sickening
Fading into to darkness
I wish I could give back the light
That once lit her distorted face
[chorus]
So I search for the magic
That keeps our friends alive
Don't know if I'll find it
Without the one I lost
